   Cast iron is both reliable and durable, making it the best choice for use in commercial buildings. Cast Iron Pipe Fittings   Cast iron pipe and fittings have been the backbone of drainage, drainage and ventilation piping systems around the world for centuries.   While plastic meets minimum building standards in many cases, what meets code and what represents the best solution for high-performance commercial construction are two very different issues.   Many times, the cost advantages of plastics over cast iron are not what they appear to be. Before allowing a job to be converted to PVC or ABS, consider five areas that may add cost and complexity.   Fireproof construction Underground installations Above-ground installations Sound attenuation Importance of manufacturing standards   Cast Iron Types   Cast iron soil pipe and fittings fall into two main types - hub and socket and hubless. Hubless pipes and fittings are also referred to as hubless in...

Many factors are involved in selecting piping and piping materials. Designers should approach these decisions and determine the advantages and disadvantages of various piping materials and connection methods.   Today we will discuss together on the following topics. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of various piping materials. Become familiar with some of the issues associated with material compatibility. Understand corrosion issues in circulating and domestic piping systems.   The piping material chosen depends on the application and water quality. For example, heating systems typically use steel pipe because of its low cost, high strength and heat resistance, while pure water systems may use pure polypropylene (PP) or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) pipe. Basic material characteristics   Steel is strong, rigid and has a low coefficient of thermal expansion. It is also heavy (may require multiple workers to transport) and prone to corrosion. It is sometimes ref...
